A tournament of a different type. March Madness is upon us, and everyone’s filling out brackets trying to win stuff. Liquid Egg Product recognizes the thirst of the people to brag about their bracketology skills, so is offering a contest of its own via ESPN’s Tournament Challenge.
The Mascot has generously offered to give the winner a Mascot T-shirt or mug! The winner can customize the shirt or mug by selecting any Mascot picture (he’ll even take a custom photo if it’s not too difficult a request) and the winner’s favorite quote from the not-so-wise quotes.
Next year, I hope he offers a prize that someone will actually want.
To join:
1. Register on ESPN.com at the Tournament Challenge. (Uncheck the “offers” so you don’t get a bunch of unwanted e-mail.)
2. Join the Liquid Egg Product group.
3. Create a bracket.
That’s it! Imagine the joy you’ll experience by owning a shirt that has this, this, or even this on the front.
Oh yeah, I forgot to update you on my x-rays a while back. They turned out as good as could be expected with no post-break shifting that could be noticed. I just got my last x-rays today and I get to stop using the cast! It is interesting re-adjusting to using my foot.
Was that off-topic or what? 🙂
Anyway, I’m in with the basketology thing! I’ve got UCLA beating Kansas in the Final. In a deal like this I think ti would be better to be lucky than good.
Mascot, I can hardly wait to see your picks…
Well I had been asked to give an update a while back and I didn’t see a foot post around. I get charged with being too random all the time, I guess it is probably true.
Next year, I hope he offers a prize that someone will actually want.
That hurt man. That hurt.
Tennessee over UCLA in the final. GO VOLUNTEERS!
Donnie, I have a special request.
How about the mascot as Humpty Dumpty after his fall
My favorite pic has to be the one with the mascot saying “It be [something] o’clock, do ye know where your children arrrrr?” and other “piratey inanities” after being beaten up from the failed assasination attempt. Still brings a grin.
@l3rucewayne: Good to hear your cast is off. Yes, it is a strange adjustment after not having used the foot for a while.
@Wahrheit: Luck is what’s it’s all about, man! The winner of the group last year (well, there were only 3 of us) had an interesting strategy which I was tempted to steal for this year.
@The Mascot: To add to your misery, at least one person has said that the prize kinda stinks.
@gman: Boo. Tom probably went Tennessee as well so you’ll swim or sink together.
@Allen: Now that is a good idea. If you win, we’ll do a photo shoot. Heck, if you don’t win, we’ll probably do it.
@l3rucewayne 2: Referring to this one. Yes, I love that one too…it’s a reminder that I can put the Egg in his place should the need arise.
Mascot–I really, really want to win that prize, believe me. And when I do I’m thinking of the rose-in-teeth shot. Unless I can have you as Robert Oppenheimer. 😉
Actually, I have Tennessee losing to Kansas in the Semi-Final. I have Kansas beating Texas in the Championship game….unless I change my bracket before tomorrow.
Too bad there is no place at the group bracket to talk trash. They need a group forum.
LEP and I are tied right now for second. Mascot, you are just sucking….ummm….sucking…..
Sucking butt! (It was so hard to find a polite alternative to eggs).
Looks like things I come down to the final game. If Kansas beats Memphis then I win otherwise B. Dknight wins.
Go Memphis!!!!
Man, Kansas is going to be hard to bet. They play like they are possessed by Tasmanian devils. I was so bummed when NC blew their comeback.
My chess stinks and my bball picking skills were off a bit this year but somehow I got just enough right.
Victory is mine.
